- Title
Who Pays for Home Consumption Pricing Schemes?
- Authors
Parmenter, B.R.; Sams, D.; Vincent, D.P.
- Abstract
In the 1930s Giblin conjectured that in an important sense the costs of home consumption pricing schemes for agricultural export commodities are borne by other lightly-sheltered industries in the trading sector, including other agricultural industries. The effect of the increase in the domestic price of the supported commodity on the domestic-cost structure, especially via wage indexation, is the mechanism by which this cost is imposed. This paper uses the ORANI model of the Australian economy to pro vide an empirical analysis of Giblin's conjecture for the case of a hypothetical home-price scheme for wheat.
